Since freedom of expression was paid for, we should be using it

June 6 is the 70th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Europe during World War II — D-Day. Sadly, some of us don’t know this, and if we do, we don’t take the time to think about what it means.

Friday is also the 73rd anniversary of the conclusion of the three-day epic Battle of Midway, June 4-6, an event less known than D-Day. Midway is a small island that, as the name implies, is halfway across the Pacific between North America and Asia. During WWII it was a major refueling point for ships and planes and a target for invasion by forces of the empire of Japan.
